What People Are Saying About 'Eighth Grade Bites'
"A spooky mystery that's funny, gruesome, heartwarming, spellbinding,
sad, joyous, surprising and topped off with a tasty blend of blood and
chocolate. Yum. What more could you ask for?" ~D.J. MacHale,
New York Times-bestselling author of PENDRAGON: JOURNAL OF AN ADVENTURE
THROUGH TIME AND SPACE
"'Eighth grade Bites' had me on the edge of my seat. It's a
great piece of fiction. It drops you right into the action, grabs
you by the throat (pun intended), and won't let go. Vladimir Tod
is a truly sympathetic character cursed with an existence not of
his own doing, but doing his best to do the right thing. It's part
'Goosebumps' mixed with 'Harry Potter' and a dash – no, a heaping
tablespoon – of Stephen King. If you're in eighth grade, or
a vampire, or an eighth grade vampire, 'Eighth Grade Bites' is a
definite must read!"~Butch Hartman, creator of Nickelodeon's
THE FAIRLY ODD PARENTS and DANNY PHANTOM
"Eighth Grade Bites is a terrific vampire tale told with a
sharp, middle-school grin. It definitely does not bite!" ~Christopher
Moore, author of BLOODSUCKING FIENDS and A DIRTY JOB
"Eighth Grade Bites is a delightful novel filled with dark,
biting humor that will appeal to everyone who ever felt they were
different. A deft hand at depicting the angst of teen years, Heather
Brewer does a wonderful job blending vampire legend with the modern
day horror that strikes fear in the heart of so many: the eighth
grade."~Katie MacAlister, New York Times-bestselling author
of EVEN VAMPIRES GET THE BLUES
"Heather Brewer has invented the most endearing of vampires
in Vlad, an eighth grader juggling the woes of adolescence with the
decidedly unique difficulties of being a vampire. She perfectly captures
the humor and angst of eighth grade, mixed with a nail-biting adventure.
Utterly charming and irresistible!" ~Liza Conrad, author of
HIGH SCHOOL BITES: THE LUCY CHRONICLES
"This book will fool you. Just when you think you've identified
it as a story lit by the cheery glow of a slightly scary jack-o-lantern,
it becomes something else -- a tale told by the flickering light
of a dying campfire late at night. And the shadows are very dark
indeed. A surprising mix of humor and horror." ~Douglas
Rees, author of VAMPIRE HIGH
"Fresh and fast-paced, with just the right brew of chills and
laughs. I’m looking forward to finding out what happens when
Vlad hits Grade Nine." ~Nancy Baker, author of KISS OF THE
VAMPIRE
"A fabulous book from a gifted storyteller! I never wanted
it to end." ~Gena Showalter, author of OH MY GOTH |

Heather,
I tried to kill a plant once but it wouldn't die. That could be a story, Hmmm.
Anyway, congrats on the news-you-can't-tell-us-just-yet! Can't wait to hear it! Best to you!
Happy to know something wonderful is happening.
Frustrated by the wait.
Getting over self and settling in to wait for amazing and wonderful things to happen to Heather :)
You know, California houseplants don't die, because they have "people"....
We're going to try a garden this year. Wish us luck, I can't grow houseplants either.
Now that I've thought about it.... I've killed silk plants before... Had a silk tree and the leaves started falling off. Sigh.
Sorry, forgot... *pinch*
Houseplants and gardens are two different things (I suspect this is because Mother Earth is a far better gardener than I). Good luck!!
And Eryc, OMG...you're worse than I am--a silk plant? LOL!!!
Soon, my Minions *rubs hands greedily together* Soon...
Hi Heather:
I have high hopes of digging up a garden and a koi pond this spring. I have visions of speckled koi lazily swimming in the sun with flowers all around them. This is in tremendous contrast to the many dead houseplants I have. :-) I so relate!
E
Can I make a prediction? I'm thinking it has something to do with (dare I say it?) movie rights.
Maybe?
Anyway, sorry I've been hiding in the background for so long.
I think I also owe you a review. Let me get workin' on that...
Murderer!!! Your poor little plant, send it to me - quick! LOL My houseplants are fine, it's my outside plants that die. Maybe it's because I hate the outside???
I have "one" plant that survives...me, the cats...the toddler...the husband just ignores it....
I've had the damn thing since college. It must have grown a backbone ;)
Can't wait to hear the news!!!!
Wait! I have a theory. Maybe palm-plant-in-the-corner isn't dead. Maybe it's just trying to fake me out until I feel REALLY BAD about it, then it'll spring back to life with a "Ha ha! Fooled you!"
...or....maybe I'm in denial.
